TWENTY-NINTH YEAR. NO. 51. ```markdown ``` Midsummer Millinery Copied From Paintings of Beauties of the Past 凸 AN OSTEND BATHING SUIT|WAYS OF HOLDING SUNSHADE UNION INDEPENDENCE TWENTY-NINTH Midsummer Millin Paintings of Be PAINTINGS of beauties of other days have been looked to, to furnish inspiration for midsummer millinery of today. The Gainsborough and Rembrandt hats follow their models almost exactly as to line and poise, only departing from them in composition and trimming. Even here it is the necessity for variety that brings into use new ornaments and fashionable feathers or flowers. No one can fall to appreciate the beauty of this artistic headwear, and, for the young woman who can carry it off (that is, dress in keeping and look after the carriage of her figure) there is nothing to compare to it for distinction. Two of the finest examples of these picturesque styles are illustrated here. They are both black hats with white trimming. This combination always is The suit in the photograph is very chic and bewitching. It is of white Canton crepe and waterproof. The skirt is made fuller at the bottom so as to enable the wearer to swim with ease. Blue and white silk has been let in the gores. Corsets for Fall. The widespread discussion of panter styles is doubtless responsible for the reports regarding a change in corset lines, says the Dry Goods Economist. There is no cause for alarm, however, as the straight line still dominates both in costumes and in corsets. We shall have many panlers, to be sure, but they are modified styles with no fullness to distend the hip line. Belts also will be widely used, but they will not draw in the waistls. In fact, they are wholly ornamental and used in quite loose effect. "Punch Work." In all lines of embroidery work that is known as "punch work" still leads. For the benefit of the uninitiated it it might be explained that the word "punch" is used for the reason that the open weave which is characteristic of the material employed provides a liberal space for a needle to punch itself between the threads and carry the embroidering material with it.—Fabrics. THE GAZETTE brillant. The Rembrandt is of fine Milan with double brim, woven so that it rolls under to the head size. Black velvet ribbon and a tuft of black and white plumes afford its trimming. It is to be worn with a decided tilt, never any less than that shown in the picture. The wide brimmed hat of black lace follows its original model less closely, but is not difficult to recognize. The brim is outlined with white crystal beads and the cockade of white ostrich is mounted with a fringed cabochon made of the same kind of beads. The brim is indented at the left and turns sharply off the face here. It widens toward the back. This hat may be worn with a much more decided tilt by girls who are tall and full of figure. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Gracefulness in This Respect Adds Much Charm to the General Appearance. The sunshade seems to be a rock upon which many a woman's good taste hopelessly founders. Not only does one often see uncomfortable color mixtures, but quite as often the sunshade is held so ungracefully that the whole effect is awkward and clumsy. There ought to be classes on "How to Hold the Sunshade," and nine women out of ten would benefit from the lessons, but as no enterprising individual has originated the idea, I can only recommend a little practice before a long mirror. Also take note of the following: (1) See that you do not grasp the handle as if it were an implementation of war. (2) Do not hold it too near the center of the handle nor too near the tip—both these faults are very common, and give a most awkward appearance. (3) Don't use it as a walking stick, nor, if it has a crook handle, hang it on your arm. (4) Hold it lightly and easily a little distance from the top of the handle and at a slightly slanting angle. Lovely Footgear. Footgear, for those who can afford the most expensive, is more than beautiful, and the fancy now is for kid instead of for suede footwear, and the colors, if they do not match the dress, harmonize with the hat or with the lining of the coat. Naturally, the beauty of such footgear must be matched by exceedingly lovely hosiery, made of silk inset with lace, and some of it is actually traced with millinery diamonds or colored gems to harmonize with the color of the evening gown. Shoes outfitted with jewels are an exquisite resource for full dress wear. New Hair Bands. Hair bands are still fashionable and are made of imitation pearls, tinsel, crystal beads, and maline. New ones include a stiff little brush of spun glass, but it did not gain favor, for the feminine eyes look for more than sparkle in an ornament, and these had no other recommendation than their glitter. Afghan for Baby's Carriage A pretty summer afghan for the baby's carriage is made of strips of handkerchief linen held together with inch and a half wide cluny lace, which also edges the cover. This is lined with pink or blue silk and ornamented on the outside with a large satin bow. This makes a dainty protection and is not heating. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JULY 13, 1912. COLORED WAITERS TO GIVE UP POSITIONS Can Remain in New York but Do Not Think It Profitable. RECEIVING BIG MONEY—DURING STRIKE NEGROES GETTING $3 A DAY—GOING TO SUMMER RESORTS—GEORGE W. HOLBERT WRITES. There is very little likelihood that in the future colored waiters will be employed by the leading eating places of New York in large numbers. In fact, within the next week or ten days it is highly probable that there will not be a single colored man carrying a tray in any of the first class hotels or restaurants in Manhattan. At present there are about one hundred negro waiters working in the best hotels, chiefly at the Plaza, Breslin and Marsilees. Their exit is expected to take place within a few days as the striking whites are going in, and each day finds many returning to work. The hotel managers, while making some of the concessions asked, have flatly refused to recognize the International Hotel Walters' union. The colored waiters at present employed could hold their jobs if they desired. They have not been notified that their services could not be needed much longer. To the contrary they have been told they could remain as long as they pleased if their work was satisfactory. At the Hotel Breslin the entire crew is composed of colored men and the management has informed them that there was no disposition to make a change unless they wanted to leave. It is claimed by those familiar with conditions that the colored waiters working at the Plaza and other hotels will soon give up their jobs because they can find more profitable situations during the summer at the various resorts throughout the country. Since the colored men were installed in the white eating places they have been paid at a rate of $3 a day (working seven days) together with their board and lodging. When the white waiters struck they were only getting $25 a month and board, and protested against the quality of food they were compelled to eat. With the strike over, which will be a matter of a few days only, the colored waiters will be offered $30 a month, which is at a rate of $60 less than what they have been receiving during the strike. They do not think they would profit by working in New York at $20 a month and, when they can go to a summer resort where business will be good and make $500 during the season. It was given out at the headquarters of the Head and Side Waiters' association in Fifty-third street that the colored waiters do not contemplate affiliating with the International Hotel Waiters' union. Negro waiters throughout the country are showing more than ordinary concern in the proposed conference of colored waiters, although there is a difference of opinion as to what lines should be followed in organizing. George W. Holbert, financial secretary of Local No. 634, Minneapolis, Minn., writes on the subject as follows: In your paper of recent date there appeared an article entitled "A Conference for Colored Waiters." The article touched upon things that are so vitally important to us as waiters, that I (being one of the craft) beg leave to offer a few suggestions. I am heartily in favor of organization, but not along the lines as laid down in the article mentioned. If we are being dispensed with every day and everywhere, somebody is taking our places and it must of course be the white waiter. So, just as long as he stands ready to supplant us, all the organizing we can do among ourselves will avail us nothing. Over 50 per cent of the white waiters are unionized, and a great majority of that 50 per cent, are members of the Hotel and Restaurant Employees' International Association and Bartenders' International League of America. This is a very strong organization, embracing as it does all of the practical working force of any average hotel or cafe: namely, cooks, waiters, bartenders and waitresses. Now, it seems to me that if we should amalgamate with these people, the most serious obstacle would be removed—that of their opposition as well as competition. I have given this subject much thought in the past, and as long as ten years ago I was severely criticised by the fellow workers of my race that they were fast losing their prestige and they themselves were as much to blame by their inattention to business, their failure to keep abreast of the improvements in service that are being debanded by the public and by their general deficiency and untidy habits. I declared then that in a few years we would have employment in only second-class places, and maybe not all of them. They laughed at me and said I was crazy. Since that time there have been erected in Minneapolis six first-class hotels, and we stood by with mouths aspe as one by one, upon their completion, they were manned by white crews. Volumes could be written upon this subject of the whys and wherefores, but I would rather discuss some practical method of organization and improvement of our service as well as working conditions. And I can prob- ably cast do so by giving a synopsis of a little of our local history here. Some time ago I interested enough of my fellow workers to form a union. We did so, starting with 15. One house in which some of us are employed is unionized throughout—cooks, barbers, waiters and waitresses. Out of this little handful of men have come some truly wonderful changes. We have our own meeting hall where we have weekly meetings, and once every month a general discussion of things pertaining to the good of the service. You can imagine the improvement there has been in that house alone; and it has been diffused around through the other houses, because we have members in every house in the Twin Cities that employs colored waiters, as we have a membership of something near one hundred now. But the two things that have impressed me most are the harmony which exists between the different working departments and the change in working conditions. And so that makes me strong for organization. But I don't believe we can hope for anything by going alone. We must join hands with the white man who is working in our same crafts, and together we can become a powerful force—alone we can never do much. The educational part of our little local and the improvements it has brought about for us in our work and general conduct, have been worth the time and trotble it cost to bring us into existence. And so, if the young men in Kansas City, who are fathering this movement, will give their earnest and honest thought, they will see that an affiliation with this international would be far the more effective. CABLE WINS INTERCOL- LIGATE HAMMER THROW COLORED STUDENT AT HARVARD MAKES LONGEST THROW EXCEPT ONE EVER BY COLLEGES OF THE UNITED STATES—NEARLY EQUALS BEST THROW EVEN EVER—QUARTER-MILE RECORD HELD BY COLORED RUNNER IS BEATEN. Philadelphia.—Pennsylvania was the winner of the inter-collegiate track and field championship meeting with 28 points, and while the Quakers won the greatest number of points, it was not its victory that caused any great surprise. This latter was furnished by the men of other colleges, who figured in bettering records and continuing to make the chances of American athletics who are to compete at Sweden this summer an almost assured victory. Cable of Harvard showed the effects of Coach Quinn's instructions by tossing the hammer further than at any time since John De Witt made the intercollegiate records. Mercer's running broad jump was also noteworthy in that he only took one试. In the quarter, C. D. Reldpath of Syracuse had to do 48 seconds flat or four-fifths of a second faster than that of Teyler of Pennsylvania back in 1907, and of D. B. Young of Amherst last May. Although records in five events were shattered, that did not end the list of remarkable performances that more than 8,000 went wildly excited over 8:30 afternoon. Cable of Harvard, by throwing the hammer 162 ft. 4½ in. made the best throw ever made in the intercollegiate games in 27 meetings, except that of 164 ft. 10 in. which Dewitt of Princeton established as an intercollegiate mark in 1902. BACK TO THE FARM It is a hopeful sign to see the executive committee of the National Bankers' association using efforts to promote agricultural education, editorially asserts the Reformer of Richmond, Va. Thus we that those who are suffering from the high cost of living are not the only ones who are advocating a return to the soil for a livelihood, and converts are springing up in all parts of the country. Railroads all over this and other states are distributing information concerning farm lands, because the more farms operated means more business for them. On the same principle the bankers reason that the tilling of waste lands means more money to be handled in deposits and improvements. Agricultural education is doing much to keep the farmer in the country and to send him congenial company. It is bringing about that efficiency that makes farming as much a business as regards details as any other. The technical education given in seeds and soil by Hampton, Tuskegee and other schools for the colored youth will continue to populate deserted farms and cause the desert places to "Bloom like a rose." Much attention is being paid to education and in many cases where the inhabitants gave poor educational facilities as the cause for leaving their "happy homes" conditions have changed. Educational, financial and social problems have been solved and distaste for country life has disappeared. WISE RATS. Talkative Passenger—When the rats desert a ship before it sails it's a sure sign that the ship is unseaworthy, isn't it. Sailor—Not always. They might have discovered that a Chinese cook has shipped. COLORED WOMEN IN LITERATURE Phillis Wheatley First and Foremost of Them All. SHOULD RUN WEEKLY PAPER—CURSORY GLANCE AT THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF SOME OF THE MANY BRILLIANT WOMEN OF THE RACE HOW HAVE MADE VALUABLE CONTRIBUTIONS TO AMERICAN LETTERS — FUTURE POSSIBILITIES POINTED OUT. First and foremost, of course, stands Philis Wheatley, the poetess of the revolutionary period. Any mention of colored women as writers would be incomplete without her. Frances Ellen Watkins Harper of Maryland was one of the sweetest of our women poets. Her poem, "The Burial of Moses," will rank with any similar poem of its character in the English language. Mrs. Anna J. Cooper is a schoolteacher in Washington, with the mind of a wise statesman. Her book "A Voice From the South" is a most valuable contribution to race literature. Mrs. Josephine Meard, Charlotte Forten Grimke, Miss H. Cardella Ray and her sister, Miss Florence Ray, are also poets. Mrs. Heard, who is the wife of a former minister to Africa, wrote a very readable volume of poems entitled "Morning Glories." Mrs. Grimke has written many very beautiful poems, one of them a masterpiece, entitled "Charles Summer." The Misses Cordella and Florence Ray have recently published a volume of poems, which they have dedicated to their father, the late Dr. Charles B. Ray. The wife of Dr. Harvey Johnson, Baltimore's leading Baptist clergyman, is a writer of stories suitable for Sunday school libraries. The American Baptist Publication society paid her a handsome sum a few years ago for two books from her pen. Mrs. Johnson is a fine French scholar. Amanda Smith, the noted evangelist, has published an interesting autobiography of her labors in Africa, England and the United States. "Poor Ben" is the title of a biographical sketch of the late Bishop Arnett, from the pen of Miss Lucretta Coleman. Ida R. Wells Barnett in journalism wielded a trenchant pen twenty or thirty years ago, and her right hand has not yet lost its cunning, for she is now editing a weekly newspaper in Chicago as Mrs. Barnett. There used to be several other papers edited by our women. Ringwood's Magazine was an ambitious undertaking and a creditable production. The Woman Era was edited in Boston by Mrs. Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin. There are any number of careful and brilliant women correspondents, some of whom have done and are doing good work on race papers and papers published by white people. Miss Ida Griffin was for a number of years editor of a periodical devoted to the interests of the home and fashion, which circulated largely in the south. Mrs. Mary C. Lawton, wife of Rev. Dr. William R. Lawton, the successful pastor of St. James' Presbyterian church in New York, contributes regularly to a Brooklyn daily, the Standard Union, and Mrs. Lydia C. Smith is regularly employed by the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. For eleven years Mrs. Smith has reported the daily happenings among our people in Great New York for the Eagle. She is secretary of the woman's auxiliary board of managers of the Howard Colored Orphan asylum and vice president of the Fifth-third Street (New York) Young Women's Christian association. There are bright women enough in the race to have a paper all their own, just as their white sisters have, and it is hoped that they will get together and think about it. There are enough women societies of one sort and another to support a paper independent of any help from men, for there are even compositors among our women, as well as writers, poets and lecturers. AN ORNAMENT TO SOCIETY. A society woman was commenting on the way different people act under embarrassing circumstances, some stammering excuses and acting like fools, while others take it as coolly as though nothing had happened. "I never see any one embarrassed that I do not think of what happened at my home one evening when I was giving a dinner party." she said. "We had almost reached the final course when chocolate was served my guests. It was steaming hot, but the whipped cream gave it a different appearance. The young man of whom I am speaking was engrossed in conversation with one of the debutantes and did not notice the chocolate was hot. He took one gulp, and then what happened I will never forget. "He merely turned his head to one side and spat the chocolate on the new wall paper. Not in the least embarrassed, he turned to the guests and remarked: "Now, don't you know that some fools would have swallowed it? It was so funny that we were all forced to laugh"—Louisville Times.

WESTERN RESERVE CLEVELAND, O. HISTORICAL SOCIETY. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS There is a set *c*: miserable human beings in this world who possess one talent (*?*) and this one is put to usury more than ten times and the results usually are hundred-fold. Their creed is: "Say of others and do unto others all that will hurt or hinder, especially if you cannot succeed." This religion they promulgate with all their might and main and it is in many cases a habit, a mania. A man is a "knocker" as he may be a kleptomania and if he is known to be the latter we are rather inclined to pity him than to censure, but the "knocker"—his disease is the more insidious and deadly because it is spread through words, through insinuations, innuendoes and is well nigh incurable, so deep are its roots in the human mind. Opinions or criticisms, the latter favorable or unfavorable, are justifiable if warranted and vice versa and the weakness of a man or woman is displayed if he or she shrinks from the expressions of his fellow-men in regard to ability, attainment or character. Freedom of speech is the boast of modern civilization and woe be unto those who would make kindless privileged by seeking to curtail the right of any to this boasted freedom. "Knockers" cannot be classed as identical with those who would make the world of men better by placing before them a higher standard of morality or religion or social ethics. The latter render a duty, a service and their mission is to upbuild, but the former puts, forth his efforts to destroy and hinder the progress of all. In all phases of life this contemptible sneak is met with. Too indolent or ignorant to strive for success, he finds fault with, condemns and often maligns the man who is making honest efforts to succeed. This is true in many cases of our colored men. They are not content to let each man gain success in his chosen work or profession, but think it their bounden duty to say all the evil that can be sald and in this way destroy all prospects of his attainment of any work or noble purpose. The honest colored man undertakes a business enterprise—a hundred hands go up to pull him down to the depths from whence they reach, a hundred voices say, "I won't patronize him, he is trying to get rich, he is too proud anyway, he is rising too rapidly." The worthy and enterprising professional man undertakes a work uplifting to himself and his fellow creatures. The chronic plague breeders begin their work with him. He is "knocked" and suffers in proportion to the "weight" of the "hammers" used. Comment has been made before in regard to this class of individuals. After all "there is nothing new under the sun," nor is there anything new about this statement of the "knocker" and his accomplishments, but right-minded men and women do not wish to gain membership in this class, do not wish this disgusting habit to grow upon them. "Guard thy speech" and the attitude of mind toward all men—plainly, "put aside yer hammer and quit yer knockin'"—Chicago Chronicle. With regard to the waiters' strike now in existence in this city we have two suggestions: First: Wherever the hotel proprietors employed colored people, they ought not to use them in this crisis as a catpaw. They should not be used merely to break the strike, and after the strike is broken, be "put out on the bricks." Such a course would work irreparable loss to the cause of the colored waiters, and would create prejudice far worse than now exists against them. We hope that wherever colored waiters enter employment formerly held by white waiters, they will have it clearly understood that they are to keep their jobs permanently and not only for the time being. Second: We wish to urge upon the waiters the importance of doing the work as efficiently as the white waiters. This means that the colored waiter who would keep the job must keep his body and clothes clean and attractive, and must study his work just as the white waiter does. He must not use his job merely as a stepping stone to something else, but must master every detail of it. The colored waiter cannot get situations in first-class hotels and restaurants if he sits up all night or a good part of the night, and then goes to his post sleepy and filthy next morning. He must be just as clean, attractive and wide awake as the white waiter. If he pursue the right policy, the chances are that many of the colored waiters will obtain permanent employment in this city. "Working One's Way Through College and University" (A. C. McClurg & Co., by Calvin Dill Wilson, discusses all phases of the problem now uppermost of the minds of thousands of our boys and girls. Mr. Wilson's advice is helpful and optimistic. His extensive investigations have revealed the fact there is no college in the United States where it is impossible for a self-supporting young man to complete his course; that there are some where the number of students partly or entirely earning their way runs as high as 80 per cent, and that even at the most expensive universities there are nu- PY FIVE CENTS. AN CULLINGS numerous opportunities in the way of scholarships and honor prizes for the student in need of financial assistance Mr. Wilson tells of a colored student at the Northwestern university medical school, one of the most exacting courses in any college, who for two years acted as porter on the Twentieth Century Limited between Chicago and Cleveland. He would leave Chicago at 2:30 p.m. one day, return at 7:20 the next morning, attend school all that day and the next morning, and go out again on the 2:30 train on that third afternoon. He earned about $80 a month and supported an invalid father, a mother and a sister during his time in college. Another young man at that same university, which a magazine writer whom Mr. Wilson quotes calls the "paradise of the self-supporting student," after having been successively a locomotive fireman, a truckman, a department store salesman and a switchman, entered college and during a part of his time lived over a barn and did his own cooking. A third more than met his expenses by selling honey and eggs to boarding house keepers.—New York Sun. Genius can never develop until the mind is free enough to follow its own thoughts. The conventional always stiffens anything like a genius. Imagine Edison as having spent four years at college as a young man and then becoming a professor. Would his genius have ever blossomed forth? Imagine Theodore Roosevelt as having become a dentist at 25, and settled down in a city of 6,000. Would his genius for leadership have ever carried him to the president's chair? Those who become great, under our present modes of thinking, and under our present ways of educating the young, are those who feel a mighty urge from natural ability. We do not make it easy for genius to develop. We do not encourage genius by our customs. We do not welcome originality. As it is now, no one but an intense egotist has courage to do his own thinking and follow his genius to success. Only an intense egotist has power sufficient to overcome mental laziness and get away from the currents of conventional thought. There is an original vein in every man. There is a path to original development open to every one. There is something you can do that no one else can do quite so well. You have a work all your own. But you will not find it by slipping into the ruts of the conventional and rolling at ease in the ideas of your teachers and associates. The great genius is animated within himself. He weighs all suggestions from the outside and he accords each suggestion only so much weight as it seems to him to be entitled to. He does not attach importance to a doctrine or a theory simply because it has been accepted by the crowd. The most of us never tap the real source of original power within ourselves because we are so busy following out the suggestions offered to us from the outside. "Insist on yourself, never imitate," says Emerson. And this is the secret of power and genius—Southern Life Magazine. Little police protection is afforded our girls of today because "while we have an efficient police department, our present officers have not the interest in negro social uplift, nor have they the opportunity to acquaint themselves with conditions that threaten our girls' future, and right here we will say that even one good negro officer could do more for the moral and social safety of the negro girl than all our present county, city, township and school officers together. We need this protection for our girls, but it can only come by a safeguard or an alliance to save the girls led by some of our good and capable negro women who have the future of their race at heart. Agitation will bring the protection and organization will do the saving of our girls.—Springfield (III.) Citizen. Negroes lose out in contesting with white people because they cannot present a united front when making demands. This was forcibly illustrated at the General Conference of the M. E. church at Minneapolis, Minn., by the Negro delegates on the matter of a Negro bishop. As soon as these delegates arrived there, they split up, and leadership of them was impossible. White men know that splitting up Negroes is the best way to control or misuse them, and in every instance our men gulp down this same old bait. Chicago negroes are catching the progressive spirit. We learn from the Defender that the Lincoln State Savings bank has opened its doors and that the outlook is most promising. We hope for our neighbors in the Windy City much success.

There is no place in the "third party" movement for sane Afro-Americans so long as Col. Theodore "Brownville" Roosevelt heats it. The National Independent Political League, which held its annual meeting in Philadelphia, last week, has split, according to the Daily Press of that city. Some of its leaders favored each of the party nominees and Roosevelt, and that was the rock upon which the break was made. Splits in politics seem to be at the height of their popularity with the male portion of the population of this country at least, these days of much-mixed politics. The most important gain in woman suffrage in the past week is the action of the Federation of Labor which voted, through its executive board, to support the new constitution entire. The Federation will begin immediately a campaign forming an organization in every county. Speakers who will explain and recommend the amendments during the next two months include Governor Johnson of California, Governor Hadley of Missouri, Governor Stubbs of Kansas, W. J. Bryan, Mayor Whitlock of Toledo, Mayor Baker of Cleveland and many Con Con delegates. The meaning of the endorsement of the Labor Federation of the constitution as a whole increases the chances of the suffrage amendment an hundred fold. COLOR, THE BAR. The following editorial is from one of our Chicago-Republican papers, the Chronicle, published during the recent national Republican convention, and is self-explanatory. Read it carefully and thoughtfully, as it presents a new phase of the Taft "steam-roller" work: "The National Committee representing in part the National Republican Party and in part the National Republican Bosses of the country convened in this city during the week and has been working over-time to show just how completely it can ignore the expressed mandates of the rank and file of the Republican voters. Nothing except the incidents creating the rebellion has been quite so flagrant in the affairs of this country, since the landing of the May flower; it has been audacity, rascality theft and thievery running amuck and the most shameful part of this in congruous, unjust and outrageous program, has been the recognition and seating of delegates from certain Southern States, who in defiance of all Party principle, Party law, custom and usage were elected in Conventions that barred men whose Publicanism was not questioned whose standing was the best, but solely because they were men of Color. A great deal has been said about this outrage, but very little about this aspect of the case. It is a tremendous wrong and outrage to unseat delegates who are fairly elected, but it is a crime and a step backward to seat delegates the representing the bourbon colored men to sit in the Conventions of the States or to participate in the affairs of the Party that came into existence at Three Oaks, Michigan, in 1856, for the sole purpose of righting these wrongs and making the land of the free and the home of the brave. It is a sad, sad commentation to make, that in all this goodly band of statesmen, there have been none so far to raise their voice against this inhuman outrage, against the men of Color, not only in the Southland, but throughout the country. How can any self-respecting man, by act or word, encourage such perniciousness, and yet to sit in the National Convention with delegates from Louisiana and certain other Southern States, is an endorsement and encouragement for the Republican Party, the Party of Lincoln, Grant and Logan to exist in Colored communities with its doors closed to the entrance of Colored men, simply because they are Colored. The Negroes themselves, should protest; the Negroes themselves who have a vote in the North should not vote at all, the ticket of any Party that openly subscribes to such principles." ANYTHING BUT "HEROES"! We are not just sure but the Afro American who attended the Republican National Convention in Chicago as delegates, did not lose a golden opportunity, probably the best that has come to the race in the last two decades. It was conceded from the very first that the colored delegates held the balance of power. Probably the largest number of contests were in the Southern states, and in states where there is no real regular organized Republican party. In a number of these states the Colored men are disfranchised, and since the advent of Mr. Taft, what few Colored office holders there were have been deposed from office, and with the consequent loss of prestige as political leaders. Hardly a Colored delegate was elected coming from a real simon pure Republican organization which had any standing whatever. And while it may be true that some of them were elected to support Mr. Taft, it is equally true that they would have lost no prestige whatever had they stood aloof from both factions and held themselves in a position to go to either party who would have promised to give them the things the Negro in the South needs at this particular time. And right here is where a leader was needed. And right here is where a leader failed to develop. With a proper leader, the trouble might have been prevented from the very beginning, and instead of the white leaders taking each other by the throat, and at the same time charging the Negro with being purchasable, while hiding their own shortcomings, the convention might have gone down to business with a proper understanding with the Colored delegates that the party would be brought back to its old time moorings; but we are afraid the opportunity was lost, never to return again. What were the claims of either party, Taft or Roosevelt, to the conditions confronting the Negro in the South? Why could not the handful of Negroes have come together and by standing between the two factions brought harmony while at the same time gaining from both that which would have been for the best interest of both the Negro and the Republican party. And now because of the fact that there was no Negro present that could measure up in the hour of need, defeat is facing the Republican party while Roosevelt is threatening to form a new party and the Democrats are feeling jubilant over the situation. Perhaps there will come a time when opportunities such as was presented at Chicago, Ill., will be taken advantage of and those of us who are posing as leaders will so far forget ours and the little circle in which we revolve as to be of real use to our race and to ourselves.—Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American Ledger. The TRUTH, brother; tell it! The Negro delegates in that convention are anything but "heroes" and certainly do not constitute any "roll of honor." They were but "tools" of the white political bosses. That and nothing more. AS TO MURPHY'S "RACE IDEALS." Murphy in his "Race Ideals" tries us some. It is to be deplored that whites who write on the Negro, cannot have contact and association with other than the ante-bellum or common classes. Had they, they might cover the ground unerringly. Possibly he then Negroes have a black ideal God But why Afro-Americans should have a Colored God any more than German-Americans, Irish-Americans, etc. etc. should have a God in some way distinctively racial, we cannot see The missionaries and evangelists preach one God. And, if the Negro just as readily receives the teaching as other nationalities, why should it be construed to be a repudiation of his race? Just as this new nation—the American—reognizes the superior or long-established learning of the old and does not feel that it has reached its ideal until it has finished up in the old world, just so does the Negro recognize the centuries of advantage the whites have had over him; nor does his ideal fall short of an acqirement of all of these. Forced segregation cannot accomplish its object The classes are distinct. Do not think because some Negroes who have been forced into a "jim-crow" car or run down Colored neighborhood have nothing to do with fellow passengers or neighbors, are trying to get away from their race and "be white". O, no! They have simply found themselves out of their class, and no more mix than to can water and oil. If they manage to rent or buy a house in a neighborhood, it is not because they "want to be white." They desire sidewalks, running water, gas, sewerage and all other appurtenances for which intelligence and progression call. They "don't know the white people are living" as far as they are concerned about their white neighbors. And you will find that the Negroes who call to see them are high above the white man's typical Negro, and that they and their host make no overtures whatever towards the white neighbors, and that they are perfectly indifferent to them. A Negro's preference to serve white rather than Colored people is analogous to their ante-bellum preferences to prefer anybody to "poor white" people. The entrance to the upper classes of Negroes is hermetically sealed to white people. They can "but peer longingly through the bars." Analogous to the Haitian Negro with his "ideals within the race" is the Chinese who has adhered to the "ideals within the race", falling to mark out any new footpaths for themselves; which has left this ancient nation, backward, and her country and possessions the prey of more progressive nations. To say Negro patronage is "so abhorrent" to other people is putting it too strong. As the Negro becomes nearer the idealistic man and naturally seeks the needs of that type, he becomes the more objectionable to the average white man, who has endeavored to crush out of him all aspiration and ideals by segregation and proscription. So, the final slap is to refuse to serve him over a counter or other table as men are served. Query: Are there not any races that are asses masquerading as horses? Fruit and Vegetable Juices Fruit and vegetables juices, on account of their organic salts, are of great value as cleansers and in the elimination of waste water from the system. It is always best to remove pulp of fruit before eating, as the cellular walls are indigestible and fill the system with waste matter. It is always the cellular walls that cause indigestion and not the fruit juice. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, JULY 13, 1912 DOINGS OF THE RAGE Dr. U. G.

He says he will fight no more after Labor Day, Sept. 2. The Negroes of America (their delegates) had at the recent national Republican convention in Chicago, the golden opportunity of their lives. It was the time to use parties; but parties used them. They had the whole situation in their hands and had only to ask for their full-fledged rights in exchange for services to be given. Instead, their contention and fight centered on illly-whiteism, forgetting to talk about race, and caged and fostered it. There was as much good sense in such action, as there would be if a person had a painful splinter in his flesh, and were to nurse and try to destroy the pain without removing the cause.—Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press INTERESTING ALLIANCE MEET The Ministers' Alliance special meeting, Tuesday morning, in the Cory M. E. Church study, Rev. E. H. Smith presiding, proved an exceptional one in several respects The Cleveland Association of Coloree Men was "roasted to a turn" in a communication received by the Alliance from a Mr. Brown of E. 36th st. for inviting only white men to lecture at its Lyceum meetings and ignoring our leading local men and women of superior education and ability. The House of Representatives permitting the Association to use the churches unless it discontinued such culpable and disloyal discrimination. In the discussion that followed not only was the Association's failure to show proper race pride and consideration, bitterly denounced but also the Luna Park color lines and also the holding of the money-making, dancing, beer and whisky-drinking socalled "emancipation celebrations" at color-line Luna Park where actions and shooting scrapes have occurred, or elsewhere Drs. Bundy and Bailey spoke ably and convincingly about the failure because of their harmful effect particularly upon their children who doubtly thrive better, the less they know and are reminded of slavery and its horrors. The disposition of the money made at the alleged "emancipation celebrations" at color-line Luna Parked in the Court of Association of Colored Men, came in for much caustic criticism; also the fact that the three leading members of the Association (Harry E. Davis, Will R. Green and "Prince" Honley) were not members of any of the churches, the two first named being connected with the editor of the *Gazette* newspapers, in their speeches at the recent Alliance banquet, making clear the necessity of ministers as well as laymen becoming good politicians (in the highest sense) in order to become good citizens and especially with a view to knowing how to explain important matters of a political nature to others, was most favorably viewed by all the ministers except one or two who seem unable to understand the Alliance or churches take charge of the proper light they too, will doubtless later on. Dr. Bailey made a short but forceful talk on this subject. The recent poor attendance upon the reception to our graduates at Mt. Zion Congregational church, was attributed to the fact that the personelle, of the leadership of the Cleveland Association of Colored Men was not sufficiently reassuring, and it was suggested that the Alliance or churches take charge of the proper light they too, will doubtlessly later on. The establishment of a factory was discussed and steps taken to further the movement. W. W. Cordell of Cincinnati, urged the Alliance to encourage our workmen to join organized labor, making an interesting talk.

Turner, in Ashtabula, Saturday evening, leaving a daughter and son. Her remains were buried Wednesday, 2. Wooland cemetery, Rev. G. W. Clark officiating. The latter also officiated, last week, at the funeral of the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Freeman of Palmville. Mrs. Freeman was formerly a resident of this city. At Luna Park, Monday evening, July 1, were the Colored employees of the Wm. Taylor, Sons Co. the King's Sons and Daughters, and their organization as well as the garden organization as well as the Forest City Sanitary club, and its friends. This last named organization received the entire amount of its sale of over 2,000 tickets, amounting to $233, banking over $246. The club has over $600 in the bank and is a benefit organization. It had no idea that it and its friends were to be so insulted and mistreated when it came to dancing skating, when it made its contract to picnic in the Park that evening. A great big and long sign with letters over a foot high, hung up in the dance-hall at Luna Park, Monday evening, July 1, read COLORED PEOPLE OCCUPIED THIS FLOOR APPLE IN LOCK! THIS FLOOR APPLE in the roller-skating rink. And think of it! over 300 Negroes quietly submitted to this unlawful, insulting and degrading rule and actually USED those dance-hall and roller-skating floors "after 10 o'clock." MAY GO FOR THE FIRST TIME, but page 3, headed LUNA PARK AND "JIMCROW" NEGROES! And think of it! Negroes are advertising a celebration in THAT PARK for Aug. 11. GREAT GOD! No wonder, so many of the other classes of people in this country, have absolutely no respect for Negroes, and so much panellimous action? Would representatives of any other class of people, be so lost to all self and race respect? LUNA PARK AND "JIMCROW" NEGROES. Among those who picknicked at Luna park. Monday evening, July 1, were the city's garbage wagon drivers and their friends, none of whom were allowed to dance until after 10 p.m. What do you think of that? Every other nationality or class—representative, decent, indecent and otherwise, citizen and foreigner, "under the blue canopy of heaven," in that park, that evening, was allowed to dance until 10 p.m., but American CITIZENS of color! And they stood about, looking at wiltfully, and waiting more or less patiently for an insulting segregation, etc., that makes one's blood bolt at the mere thought of it. GOOD LORD! will some of our poor people ever learn? In the face of such as this, there are some of our people who are so lost to self and race-respect as to go to the Luna park management to rent the place for "emancipation celebrations" and other affairs, instead of going into the courts to put a stop to the damnable discrimination that any other people but ours would fight to the death, and die before they carry their hard-earned money to them and lay it in their laps for such aggravating insults and mistreatment. May God forgive the "jimcrow" Negro! He is more harmful to this race of ours than the Tillmans, Verdamans, Dixons and others of their stripe. Luna park is a public place of amusement, recreation etc. It has no more right under Ohio law to draw color-lines than any other purely public place. And our people can put a stop to it if they want to; they have the law on their side. Why, in God's name, don't they use it and try to do so? What is the matter with this people of ours, anyhow? SHAME! O, SHAME!!! EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL. A few days ago in an editorial entitled "Dagoes, Polacks and Sheenees" we pointed out the foolishness of the working class dividing itself along racial lines and calling each other such names as the ones just mentioned. One of the readers of the World and we have nothing to say about the Negro. Are we afraid to include him in our common brotherhood? For the benefit of this reader and every other reader of The World, let us say once for all that the Socialist Party stands for equality of opportunity for ALL, RACES, regardless of creed or color. A brotherhood which does not include the Negro as well as all other races is no real brotherhood at all. The Negro has suffered as much not more than the one from the discrimination, and we are going to do everything in our power to put an end to this injustice. Unfortunately, it is only too true that many of the workers have not yet overcome their racial prejudices. But we will make little progress until we recognize that there can be no real democracy when those who do not equally fight everybody. Again we say "Workers lay aside all racial prejudices. Unite as brothers and comrades working in a common cause. Unite to establish a true social and industrial democracy."—Chicago Evening World, July 2-12. To Fight Langford and McVey. Ease Flying, N.

BOYS MAGAZINE MAY EDITED BY WALTER CAMP A UNITED EFFLOT FOR HURA BETTERMENT BEING MADE BY NECRO COLLEGE OF ATLANTA Organization and co-operation are the fundamental forces that are accomplishing the stupendous tasks which brand this as the most progressive age of all time. These forces are being utilized among the six big negro colleges at Atlanta in their first step of co-operative effort. The organization of the "Atlanta Federation of Schools for the improvement of Negro Country Life" marks a new epoch in the educational affairs of our people in Georgia, and has the possibilities of reaching out into every needy community of the south. Such a federation has unlimited opportunities for usefulness. These six colleges are now engaged in extension work which cannot be done as effectively by one as by all operating together in combination. The adoption of this idea in educational centers like Atlanta, Nashville, New Orleans, Augusta, and others, would spread the movement to cover the entire south. Here is a nucleus of co-operation among the alumni of these colleges in such communities where two or more of them reside. Possibly 75 per cent. of colored graduates in Georgia were educated in Atlanta's six colored colleges. Get this three-fourths of our prepared workers into a united movement for the improvement of negro rural life, and telling results are sure of accomplishment. The undergraduates attending these schools will also, on their return home each year, find a maped-out plan for mission work that will be well suited to their following. When we consider that fully four-fifths of the 2,750 students enrolled yearly in these six colleges are from Georgia communities, it can be seen that there is a mass of good working material that can be utilized in helping the rural people to increase their efficiency, raise their standards of living, and become more largely interested in community life. Many individuals have gone out from our Atlanta colleges and have independently built up efficient organizations for giving effective educational advantages to the masses in those sections where they have gone. Notably among them are: Prof. A. H. Hunt, principal of the Fort Valley High and Industrial school, in Houston county; Prof. J. W. Reddick, principal of the American Institute, in Sumter county; Mrs. Julia C. Jackson, who conducts a model country school in Clark county. Under the direction of the "Atlanta Federation of Schools for the Improvement of Negro Country Life" every one with the inclination be of the largest possible service to his or her people, can engage in a worthy work along this line under expert supervision. The Federation of Schools will for the present confine their efforts to the promotion of Negro Boys' Corn clubs in Georgia, but their entrance at some future time into other activities in extension work will be heartily welcomed by their thousands of patrons and friends. Philadthropists and the managers of special funds for the promotion of education have refrained in the past from giving to the cause in this section because of the multiplicity of independent institutions here and a duplication of college work, not resiring to help one to the exclusion of the other, and unable to give to all. But this federation-for extension work ought to relieve them of further embarrassment, for through it the extension work of all six colleges will be promoted and the entire people in Georgia and the south will ultimately be bexelfol Much credit is due the heeds of these schools and their assistants in effecting such an organization. The laudable and well known rivalry between the colleges was thought by many an insurmountable obstacle in the way of any such united effort on their part. That each has risen above a natural clamishness and has joined in with all the others to accomplish the largest possible good for all the people, is a testimonial to their earnestness and Christian devotion to the larger purpose of uplifting the negro people. The field work of organizing corn clubs has been delegated to a committee on corn clubs with the following as members: Professor Towns of Atlanta university, Miss Brill of Spelman seminary, Professor Harper of Morris Brown college, Professor Archer of Atlanta Bartist college, Professor P. C. Parks, farm director $^4$ Clark university, is chairman of this committee. With these workers organizing corn clubs among the constituents of their several institutions, $^5$ big results may be looked for when the corn show of the Negro Bowe' Corn clubs is held in November of this year in Atlanta. At this early date, twelve counties are organized with about 500 contestants. The federation has appropriated $200 for prizes to be offered the boys in each county growing the most corn to the acre.

THE RISE AND FALL OF SLAVERY IN AMERICA By EDWARK PATRICK REFERRED TO AN EXPERT. A stylishly dressed woman in a smart looking Brougham narrowly verted running over a messenger boy a few days ago. The woman stopped her car and opened the door of the electric to express her sympathy. But the boy was ahead of her and in a harangue that for emphasis would have made Captain Kidd or any of the old buccaneers green with envy told exactly what he thought of the incident. The woman closed the door THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. C SATURDAY. JULY 13. 1912 son the highest court in the United States took it up in 1857. Here the court decided three things. 1st. That a negro (whether bond or free) who was a descendant of slave ancestor, was not an American citizen. 2nd. He could not sue (even for liberty) in the United States courts, 3rd. That he could not gain his freedom by going into a free state, or territory where slavery was prohibited by the Missouri compromise, since congress had no rightful power to make such a law. This decision stirred the north like an electric shock. The result was that many people determined that the law should not be carried out. This, of course, angered the south. Some failures are stepping stones to success. The defeat of Scott was a case. We have next the fourth and last touch of slavery which abolished it altogether. This powerful touch was made by Abraham Lincoln, January 1, 1863. In his inaugural address he made an earnest plea for peace and union. His speech to the south was in these words: "In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war. The government will not assail you. You have no oath registered in heaven to destroy the government, while I shall have the most solemn one to preserve, protect and defend it." He also said: "I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interpose with the institution of slavery where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so; and I have no inclination to do so." But after realizing that the progress of the war was due to slavery, he changed his inclination and by issuing his proclamation, 1853, he freed with one stroke of the pen about 4,000,000 slaves. This is said to be, undoubtedly, his greatest single act, but throughout his administration he manifested such a degree of patience of patriotism, and of practical wisdom, that he seemed like one commissioned by the most high. As one old Scotchman said, "Christ, Lincoln, and Burns are the three greatest men that ever trod this earth." He was a friend of every American. None of us or of our children, north or south, east or west, will ever know a more unselfish or a truer man than Abraham Lincoln. The negro shall always remember him, and shall always be more than glad to kiss the dirt of his grave. It would be a great injustice if I fail to mention some of the strong abolitionists who helped the negro and who were friends to him in his struggle for liberty. Such persons as Wendell Phillips, who gave his life to the abolitionist party, and who was the foremost and unquestionably the ablest of the anti-slavery agitators, Benjamin Lundy, who in 1825 went to Haytii to arrange for the colonization of negroes, and in 1829 took thither a number lately freed. Samuel Joseph May, who preached as well as wrote in favor of the negroes, advocating immediate emancipation, for which he was mobbed and burnt in effigy at Syracuse, N. Y., in 1830. Prudence Crandall, who was persecuted and arrested for receiving colored girls into her school at Cantebury, Conn. Ellij Wright, who bore a part in founding the national anti-slavery party, and many others whose names are just as prominent. Thus we see that these helpers added the negro in reaching the heights of prosperity in its widest sense. Fifty years ago, they could not even call themselves their own, today they are taxed for several hundred million dollars' worth of property, which they have fairly made and just as fairly enjoyed. He has risen in all walks of life. THE COPPER IN A CENT. A penny is made from almost chemically pure copper, which is obtained by the new electric methods. Formerly the refining of copper was an expensive process, but with the utilization of electricity the expense has been materially decreased. The copper is placed at one end of a tank which is filled with water. This is called the amode or positive pole. The action of a powerful electric current releases the copper, carries it on the negative or cathode pole. The result is what is known as "electricity" or "cathode" copper. It is what pennies are made of. While the "electrolytic" is the purest known copper, the "lake" copper brings a slightly higher price in the market. This is because there is a small amount of silver in all the copper from the Lake Superior regions. It is so small that it cannot be separated at a profit. Silver, however, is a better conductor of electricity than copper, and therefore for commercial purposes the lake copper is in such demand that it brings a better price—New York Press. THE LOOKING GLASS IN FICTION. All nations have shown by their stories how the looking glass is regarded as ministering to vanity. The ancient Greeks depleted Venus with a mirror and even described her chamber as lined all over with mirrors, so that whichever way her eyes turned she could behold her beautiful self. But Minerva never used a mirror. Pass to West Africa and we find a native story which begins with a magic mirror that posessed the power of speech and always said, "Mistress, there is none." When His owner, a woman called Maria, asked it, "My mirror, is there any other beautiful woman like myself?" But one day Maria's daughter entered the forbidden room where it was kept, asked a similar question and got a similar answer. A tale of maternal jealousy and vengeance follows.—London Spectator. hurriedly and turning to her eight-year-old son, who, dressed like Lord Fauntleroy, sat deumely beside her, said in a shocked voice: "I never heard such language in my life." "Oh, that's nothing," the little felt low told his mother. "You ought to have heard the cook talking to the neighbors about you the other day."—Kansas City Journal.

Emphatically denying that the present struggle in Cuba is a race war, and declaring that he has a number of whites in his ranks and that his followers would rather be governed by strangers than by Cuban methods, as in the past, Gep. Estenoz has issued a formal statement to the United States government. The message was brought from the rebel headquarters to the American consulate at Santiago by George Collister, the American ranch owner, who was reported captured. The statement made public at the state department is declared to be the first one of its kind issued from the rebel headquarters. It reads in part as follows: "The negro under the present conditions in this country has no chance and the object of the warfare which we are now carrying on is to secure for him the civil rights to which he, in connection with other Cubans, is entitled under the constitution of the republic of Cuba, and for which he fought during so many years. The warfare we are carrying on is a civilized warfare. We are neither robbing nor molesting women. We are not murdering white people, nor have we any intention of doing so, although the Cuban government is constantly stating that such is our purpose. We are not making war against foreigners and we hope that they will not take sides in this conflict. "I have learned that the American mining companies have armed their Gallego laborers, and I have warned them not to permit these men to enter the fight against us, for it they do so, we shall retaliate by killing every Gallego on whom we can lay our hands. "The present government of Cuba has endeavored to convince the people that the present is a race war. This, however, is false, as evidenced by the fact that in our ranks we have many white men, and that in Cuba a race war would be an absolute impossibility, for, with the exception of a few white foreigners, all would be on one side. It was for the purpose of notifying the world that I had undertaken and was conducting a revolution in Cuba that I burned the buildings of the Spanish American iron company. "I regretted the necessity for this action and also the taking of such property as arms, horses, saddles, etc., but for the success of the enterprise it was absolutely necessary to obtain these things, as it would be impossible to carry on a revolution merely by organizing a band of men and quietly sitting under a mango tree." "Any agreement that I might make with the government of Cuba for the settlement of this affair would have to be concluded in the presence of a representative of the United States of America and only upon the assurance of this representative that the United States would guarantee the absolute fulfillment by the Cuban government of the agreement, as the officials of that government have made many promises to me in the past and so far none of them have been fulfilled. We ask only for our rights as citizens and we hope the American people will comprehend our position and will study the matter with great care before they become satisfied that it is necessary to intervene." George Collister, the American owner of a ranch at Sigma, near Daquilr, who was reported to have been held for ransom by the insurgents, has arrived here. He tells an interesting story of the experiences of himself and his partner, Mr. Wheeler, in the insurgent camp. On May 30 four armed negroes arrived at their ranch. They requested horses for the rebels, then camped at Alta Gracia and when they departed took six horses with them. Later a messenger arrived from the rebel headquarters and informed Collister and Wheeler that Generals Colnoz and Ivonet desired to see them. They proceeded to the rebel camp, and General Estenoz made profuse apologies for taking their horses, but said that he had been compelled to do so. Estenoz assured them that the insurgents would not disturb their ranch, as they were carrying on civilized warfare. He added that he had been compelled to destroy property at Daiquiri in order to show the world that they were engaged in a revolution, but denied that the was fighting against foreigners. The movement was aimed entirely against the Cuban government. The rebel leader declared that he would allow none of his men to commit any outrage, and promised that all found guilty of such acts would be punished. He thanked the Americans for visiting him and escorted them beyond the outposts, from which they reached home without difficulty. EMERGENCY SWEETS.

It has calmed the seas and storms. It has climbed the heavens and searched out the mysteries of the stars. It has harnessed the lightning and bids the rocks dissolve. It has summoned the secret atoms to give up their names and laws. It has supersed the face of the world, and compelled the waters and fire to become servants. In short, God through force executes all that is included in history, showing his tremendous energy in almost everything that stirs the silence and changes the condition of the world. Everything is transformed by him, even to the stars. Its existence is recognized in concrete things of nature. Under its influence the world has been marching to the goal of true development through the ages. Force has put an end to the old and introduced the new; it has established and destroyed empires. Through one individual it has effected revolutions; through another it has brought about another individual. It has produced individuals is a concrete form of force. Individual character has copied from the rocks a record of prehistoric times. From facts and confused speculation, systems of philosophy have been devised by individuals of unique character. These exceptional characters have been distributed through the centuries. Through one at a time it seems that God has operated in his dealings with the world. For a while the world pivoted on the first man Adam, then on courageous Noah, next on godly Moses, again on the characters of David and Nehemiah. Rameses II. decided the course of Egypt and nations beyond its border for a series of centuries. Sagan and Nebuchadnezzar were exceptional characters and settled the fate of empires in the east for successive generations. Alexander of Macedon changed the whole face of the world and stamped it indelibly with his character. Caesar, Alfred, Charlemagne, Peter the Great, Cromwell, Napoleon, Washington, Toussaint L'Overture, were men of exceptional character. They were the great powers in the world's movements during that period. Today their influences are felt, and they live though they are dead. A UTOPIA WITHOUT CASTE A UTOPIA WITHOUT CASTE. The advancement of one race or age is a legacy for succeeding generations. Looking through the telescope of the future, we can see another generation entering the battle of life. A new empire rises in the distance—the climax of terrestrial government, an exhibition the blessings of Christianity to the world. In this empire the castle system will be from its lofty throne, its institution of moral will shall be demobilised and political corruption restrained by the scepter of righteousness. This shall be brought about through the instrumentality of individual character. Through Caesar came the Roman empire, through Washington the republic. With more characters like Livingstone, Lull, Prince Henry and Mofat, Africa, China, India, and Japan will burst forth with the buds of promise like the forests of an arctic springtime. From the Cape of Good Hope to Egypt is one long missionary highway: From Scotland, by the Mediterranean and Red seas to the Himalayas and the Pacific ocean, is another. The islands of the sea are being dragged reluctantly into the mighty march of Christianity. This ideal institution was established by individual character, for individuality as a force among the world forces, is not confined to any race or clime. Ethiopia had its Tirkahah, Egypt its Rameses, Babylon its Nebuchadnezzar, China its Confucins, India its Buddah, Greece its Socrates, Rome its Caesar and Clercow, England its Cromwell, France its Napoleon, and America its Washington, Lincoln and Douglas. Upon the arena of the future must appear in like manner actors of every race. If the black man, the pioneer of civilization, would place his name upon the annals of the world's history, he must play his part well; he must spend, as other men years of toilous labor in preparation for this suspendous task, for you can readily see that the happy and welcome participant in the march of the sublimer age will be the man or woman of exceptional character regardless of color. Poets are born, but few of these characters are. The greater number are developed by external force brought to bear on the soul. Should you ask for an example? I point with pride to the lives of Booker T. Washington and Samuel Morris. We should each strive to be a force in directing the youth of the land to greatness and future usefulness. OUR YOUTH DESERVE SPECIAL CONSIDERATION The Afro-American boys needs encouragement. That his ancestors led the world in science, art and government for more than two thousand years has not been taught to him. What he is, he is because he could not be anything else. He has risen because he could not stay down. But what he is points to a far greater ancestry. It was Volney who said, "How strange that to the race now our slaves and our object of extreme contempt, we owe our science and our very speech." There are many theories about the negro that are not in harmony with facts. They, like the Ptolemic theory of the solar system that ELSINORE AND THE SENOR. When F. H. Heald settled on the Machado ranch, near San Diego, and began to build Elsinore, then unnamed, he was puzzled about the christening. What would he call the coming city by the lakes and springs? Finally he chose lake something or other—a long compound—but the postoffice authorities would not have it. They wrote Mr. Heald that one word was enough and sent him a list to choose from. He took Elsinore and a few days after swayed the world for more than fifteen centuries, ere long shull fall into disrepute. INNINIUAL CHARACTER NEEDED INDIVIDUAL CHARACTER NEEDED FOR AFRICA. The question may be asked why Africa is so low if it has been so high? I would answer, for the same reason that Babylon has fallen into obscurity. Daily we can see Christ coming to the world and to every Christian. What Africa needs today is more individual character—men of learning and moral firmness; men who can wake up the race to the possibilities that are theirs; men whose eloquence and logic will move nations to espouse the cause of Christianity as Luther stirred Germany against Catholicism. We need men to stand in the struggle between the whites and blacks of this country. Read, if you please, the "Talks of the Times." I repeat it: We need men of exceptional character to usher in the bright days that are now peeping over the parched mountain of human need. Shall the negro have a chance? Shall there be lifted up a Moses to the oppressed? Let every one answer to his own soul. Though many of us may sink beneath the scorching suns of Africa and our bodies deposited beneath the burning sands, none of this should discourage us. We should remember the words of Melville B. Cox, one among the first missionaries to Africa, who when passing from that benighted land to an eternal land of rest, uttered the immortal words: "Let a thousand fall, but let not Africa be given up." Let us put forth more zeal than ever to make a Christian and civilized world out of Africa. Go teach all nations; fear neither the difficulties of foreign tongues, nor the differences of manners, nor the power of secular governments. Consult not the course of rivers nor the direction of mountain ranges. Go straight; go as the thunder of him who sent you; as the creative word went, which carried life into chaos; as the eagles go, and the angels—Southern Life Magazine. MY PROMISE TO GOD. I can never forget how I used to go to fields and gather daisies. Just like that I can go into the beautiful garden of God's word and collect the promises of my heavenly Father. There is a peculiar delight in coming upon these sweet messages, each of which is full of good wishes for me. Their blessed sympathy touches my heart when it is sore and tired. They turn many a darkened hour into sunshine. Whenever a promise braids itself into my life it becomes mine. I never read it without feeling it is mine. The collection of a rich assortment of these heavenly daisies is one of the best accomplishments of a Christian life. How they pour out their eloquent appeals when trial comes! But, there is another side to this. It relates to my making promises. Is there any virtue in this? I remember how I felt, when a little child, I got a promise from my parent, and how it filled with pleasure, and made that parent look "big" in my eyes, and how I at once connected promise and fulfillment. Love always has longings, even in God. What would God like of me? Is it in my心 to gratify God? How long can I sit thus and not find myself, for very love's sake, making him a promise? It is natural for love to promise. In idle promises there is nothing to praise. But deep, earnest love like mine is not idle by any means. "Trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for strength I promise him."—Frederick B. Greul, I The Watchman. GLORY OF THE MOUNTAINS. No lowlander can appreciate the mountain appetite and the facility with which heavy food called "grub" is disposed of. Eating, walking, resting, seem alike delightful, and one feels inclined to sushi lustfully on rising in the morning like a crowning cock—sleep and digestion as clear as the air. Fine spicy plush boughs for bedding we shall have tonight, and a glorious bully we shall have from this cascading creek. Never was stream more fittingly named, for as far as I have traced it above and below our camp it is one continuous, bouncing, dancing, white bloom of cascades. And at the very last, unwearied, it finishes its wild course in a grand leap of 300 feet or more to the bottom of the main Yosemite canyon near the fall of Tamarack creek a few miles below the foot of the valley—From John Muir's "My First Summer in the Serras." THE LAMPREY'S NEST The nest building efforts of the common lemprey eel show a degree of cleverness that is very wonderful. When the nesting time comes the fish leave the coast water and make their way up river. There at a likely spot upon the bottom the two eels proceed to build a nest with stones for spawning, the stones being brought in the creatures' mouths and deposited in the form of a heap. When a large stone is wanted the fish combine and gripping it with their mouths by suction, carry it together and deposit it upon the heap, which may attain a height of two or three feet.—London Tit-Bits. GREEN, NOT WHITE. A wealthy American girl was attending a social function at a country house in England. "You American girls have not such healthy complexions as we have," said an English duchess to the girl. "I always wonder why our noblemen take a fancy to your white faces." "It isn't our white faces that attracts them," responded the American; it's our greenbacks."—Judge. ward announced the fact to old Senor Machado. The aged son was for a moment nonplussed. "El Senor," he said, "which senor do you mean, yourself or myself?" "Yourself, of course," replied the diplomatic Heald. And to this day the Machados believe that the name Elshore is but a gringo corruption of "El Senor," the senor who owned the original property.—Argonaut.

SELF-RESTRAINT IN THE USE OF AUTHORITY A LACK OF PAIRNESS AND POISE SHOWN BY THE AVERAGE NEG GRO ON REACHING A PLACE OF DISTINCTION AND POWER — THE YOUNG NEGRO MAY SCHOOL HIMSELF TO AVOID WRECKING HIS LIFE ON THE HIDDEN ROCKS OF AUSTERITY AND CONCEIT. Editorial Contribution to the Southern Life Magazine. Respect for the opinions of others is something to which we cannot all lay claim. It is not by any means necessary that each individual in this world should read Blackstone's. Commentaries in order to get a clear idea of a person's individual rights and privileges—those he is entitled to demand for no reason other than that his is a sane human being. It ought to be necessary only to call the attention of any warped, biased intellect to the necessity, for his own future good, of thinking and meditating on the solemn truths proving that every person, ignorant or intelligent, is due a hearing when he is concerned and desires it, and that according to the teaching of Christianity and of civilization generally, every person's opinions ought to be considered and at least be respected as his right to them even though they cannot be accepted. The infidel, sceptic or agnostic has a right to express the conclusions of his reasonings; so has the anarchist. It seems to us that we need be seriously concerned in our treatment of any one only in so far as that person allows his opinions to influence his actions toward us or toward his fellowman generally. We feel safe in concluding that there is never an excuse for contemptuously disregarding, discounting or vilifying any individual because of his thoughts or opinions merely. It must be admitted that it is every one's unhindered right to think, and to express his thoughts should he see fit so to do. We fear that the negro can lay a far smaller claim to a share of this full realization of individual rights than can any other race of people. Imposed upon most unreasonably when a slave, legislated against as a freeman and treated as though he landed upon this earth accidentally from some other planet, the average black man today finds himself falling out repeatedly with his neighbors who may chance to entertain opinions at variance to his own. It seems to be a natural result following past lessons taught him when he was powerless to decide what he wished to learn. On coming into possession of a litte the authority we find the average negro overbearing; not wearing his honors with becoming grace and humility. We find him often discounting the wishes, desires or demands of his subordinates, and falling out entirely with any might entertain thoughts and opinions that cannot coincide with his own. Unreasonableness often holds sway in his decisions and actions. The young negro who is gradually gaining a place in the world, is hereby warned that if he wishes permanently to retain influence with his fellows and enjoy their highest respect and esteem, he must ever be watchful to retain his poise and equilibrium; not to become haughty, domineering and tyrannical, but to remember that the possession of power gives him no further right to treat people as people treat cattle, than he had when first he was born. Every aspirant for place and position should hold in mind that however strong are his convictions in any direction, there exist diametrically opposite convictions, just as strong as his, and the persons possessing them have a perfect right to them, and not only can but should expect decent treatment from him in spite of these differences. Any one who cannot see the wisdom of these observations is narrow indeed. And he who will not be influenced by the advice here given must be a hopeless case and a coming tyrant. We feel that the young negro especially needs to learn these lessons. He could never forget that whatever other way his feelings dictate, he is unreasonable when he falls out with a fellow because he beats him in an argument. FASHION DEMANDS THE TOUCH OF BRIGHT COLOR The day of the pure white costume has passed, for to be fully fashionable there must be a touch of color on the frock. A ribbon girdle, a panel sash in back, a large bow of velvet or satin ribbon, a cluster of artificial poses, buttons, chemisette and undersleeves or ribbon trimming or looping up the drapery or pannier are most effectively employed on the immaculate lingerie frock of lace or embroidery. Colored taffeta, satin and velvet are also being introduced on the imported lace blouses for summer wear. JEWELED BUTTONS ENLIVEN THIS GOWN. White satin tailored gowns with trim, simple lines, are garnished with brilliant jeweled buttons. The lapped skirt of this white satin gown fastens with three huge coral and rhinestone buttons and there is a necklace of coral silk above two rows of small rhinestone buttons on the bodice. Mangle boots with buttoned tops of white calf accompany the gown. TOLD HIM. "See here, landlord," said an angry tenant after he had signed the contract, "this house is full of sewer gas."
